From the Library Director: Happy Holidays!

During this happy-but-hectic time of year, it’s important to take a little time every now and then to pause and reflect on what’s really important.

Whether the house is decorated so that it looks like an interior designer was in charge, or your holiday cookies come out looking like Martha Stewart’s, remember the reason that we do all this: our families and friends.

Spend just ten minutes every day reading a favorite story with your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or the kids who live next door. Stop by your nearest library and check out a few classic holiday movies, then pop some popcorn, and invite friends over for a holiday movie marathon. Download some new music from our website. Visit the library to find cookbooks or craft books that you can use to start a few new family traditions this year.

And if you’re planning to give an e-book reader to someone as a gift, don’t forget to slip a library card application into the box before you wrap it up. The recipient will appreciate the opportunity to download books and more from the library, free!

As we wind up 2010 and look forward to 2011, the Board and staff of the San Antonio Public Library wish you a very happy holiday season.

– Ramiro S. Salazar, San Antonio Public Library Director

Start the new year off with the Spurs and the San Antonio Public Library!

Friday, January 14, 2011, is the date, tipoff is at 7:00 p.m., and the Spurs are playing the Dallas Mavericks! A portion of the proceeds from sales of tickets to this game will be donated to the Library.
